Hi everyone,Hope you had a great weekend. Today I'm sharing a few of my quickie Meatless meals and comfort meals as well as some yumminess I've found online.One of my easiest quickie comfort meals is made with all prepared products, sorry I know it's bad, but like I said it is a comfort meal and a quickie one...Now, this version is Not Vegan, however, Annies does make a Vegan Mac n Cheese, plus there are some other brands out there, so just use your favorite. The other ingredient is Amy's chili which is Vegan, so if you use Vegan Mac n Cheese, Vegan butter, Cashew or other non-dairy milk this could easily be Vegan, when I make the Vegan version I add some Nutritional Yeast to taste, for that extra cheesy, nutty flavor.Sorry, my presentation picture is bad, I didn't think until after I had served some up to take a picture and this was all that was left, ugh. It is tasty though, even though the pic doesn't convey it! lolFor the Mac n Cheese, I make it per the package but because I like Aldente I take it off the heat to drain the pasta about a minute before it is done. Once it is done though I make it as usual, and whether I am making the Vegan version or the non-Vegan version I always add about 1/4 tsp of Smoked Paprika as well as Nutritional Yeast, other things are a bit of Herbamare just a sprinkle or two to taste another additions I make from time to time is mild chopped Ortega chilis and top with a bit of cheese, regular or Vegan.Once I have it seasoned and the cheese is all mixed well, over about low to med-low heat, now I add the can of Amy's Chili until heated through than enjoy! Now some additional toppings I've had from time to time, regular or Vegan cheese, regular or Vegan Sour Cream or plain Greek-style Yogurt, fresh sliced Green or Chopped Red Onions, or if you want a bit of kick, favorite hot sauce or Sliced Jalapenos!

Do you do Meatless meals or Meatless Monday's from time to time or are you Vegetarian, Flexitarian or Vegan? If so where do you find your favs?

I’ve been a Jennie-O consumer long before I became a Jennie-O Switch Circle Blogger and we continue to enjoy their quality products year after year. Though Jennie-O has provided me with a product for review, I have not and am not receiving any monetary compensation for this post. My thoughts and opinions are all my own and based on my experience with this product.***Hi everyone, thank you for stopping in.This time of year, many of us are short on time, as there is Back to School, Sports Practices, Fall events to attend and more, not to mention the holidays are nearly around the corner.So the last thing you want to have to do is worry too much about "What's For Dinner"? You know you're going to hear it some point in the dayWell, Jennie-O and I have a few easy and fairly quick ideas to hopefully make your night a little easier.

This meal is kind of a take on Sausage Peppers and Potatoes, though I do have all 3, I also added a few more vegetables! It's one of those meals that everything is added to one pan and other than assembling as well as stirring halfway, it's just about waiting for it to cook and serve! I love easy meals like this, plus it's not only a great way to add vegetables to your meals but a great way to use up the produce! This meal allows you to be flexible as well, you could easily add what vegetables you prefer, below are the ones I added. Even though I am Flexitarian and eating a range of vegetables isn't an issue for me, however, I'm the only one, so I have to be a bit sneaky when adding vegetables and this meal was the perfect way to do it! Shhhh... don't tell anybody!

What you'll need for this take on Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes that I made:1 Tablespoon of Olive oil2 Cloves of Minced Garlic or a Teaspoon of (I used jarred minced Garlic)Pinch of dried Italian HerbsPinch of Salt and Pepper or to taste this can easily be added after the dish is cooked which is why I say to taste.1/4 cup of reduced sodium Vegetable stock 1 Med Red Onion peeled and choppedAbout 1/4-1/2 lb of Brussels sprouts1 Med to Large Sweet Potato1 Small bag of baby or Fingerling Potatoes1 Red and 1 Orange Bell Pepper

Before I wash and prep my ingredients I pre-heat my oven to 350 degrees.Next, I wash up and prep all my ingredients then toss it all together in a bowl with a tablespoon of Olive Oil, the Vegetable stock, the Italian herbs, a pinch of Salt as well as Pepper.After that, I just add it to a 9 x 12 baking pan, set the timer for 25-30 mins, now the cooking time may vary based on your own oven, but when potatoes are tender and vegetables are a bit browned then you're good to go and enjoy. The tasty broth is great with some warm crusty bread and you have any leftovers, it even better the next day!

Hi Everyone, hope your all doing well.Recently I was invited to review one of Carpet One's "Pink Ribbon Welcome Mats" that is a part of Carpet One partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Sadly, most of us have or will be affected by Breast Cancer in some way or know someone who has been, which is why I wanted to be a part of this campaign!For 13 Years now Carpet One has contributed a percentage of their proceeds to this foundation 25% of the purchase of each mat sold actually!

This campaign helps provide some much-needed funds for breast cancer research, funds which are essential to preventing deaths, improving treatments and finding a cure!

For 2017 there are 16 beautiful designs available in the collection and Purchasing a welcome mat contributes directly to raising funds for breast cancer research and hopes for finding a cure.

Here are a few of the designs available:

This campaign has raised nearly 1 million dollars for a variety of breast cancer research charities.

These rugs are made in the USA and display a pink ribbon and they are stain resistant as well as machine washable!The design I was sent is Pet's Welcome as is shown below and I am very pleased with it, my pictures nor did the pictures on the Carpet One site do this rug justice! This rug is much more vibrant, the print is clear, lovely, and well made, it also features a nice backing, these would make a wonderful gift and don't be surprised if you see them on this blogs holiday gift ideas list!

Carpet One Pink Ribbon Mats are available year round, however, new designs arrive in early October, not only are they a lovely touch to your home, they make a great gift and support a great cause all at the same time!

Though October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we should all be aware year round!Breast Cancer doesn't care about your age or gender or family history, in fact, 85% of Breast Cancers occur in women with NO family history!

Did you know that each year, it is expected that over 250,000 women in the United States alone will be diagnosed with some form of breast cancer, and nearly 40,000 of those women will die?

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
